• Visual Basic Restricting TextBox Input to Letters Only

  I am trying to create a form that has a TextBox control on it for entering a state abbreviation (two letters). What is the best way to make sure that the user enters only letters (no numbers) IsNumeric doesn't seem to do the trick if the first character is a letter and the second characters is a number...I want to be able to restrict user input so that they cannot enter any numbers at all into the TextBox. Thanks! i don't really understand what is meant by "0"c, and e.handled = true (i think it has something to do with whether it is handled, but why do u need it ).(in red) can someone explain Protected Overrides Sub OnKeyDown( ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) If ...Show All

• SQL Server How to not send subscription report if no data

  I have a report that may or may not have data. I have a subscription setup for this report. The subscription has a defined To list. I would like to NOT send the report if there is no data on the report. I did this in SQL 2000 by raising an error from the stored procedure if there was no data. However, that approach does not seem to work with 2005. Is there another way to accomplish this Hi, Someone in this forum had an idea about this, sorry I could not recall the name. I applied the idea this way. I have a job with 2 steps, the first step is some kind of test to decide wether or not and when to fire the report subscription. If the first step fails, the report is not sent. In my case, I set the firs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Backup to remote computer and "Local System" service account

  I don't really understand how to do a backup of the SQL databases to a remote file share. Following the instructions in the install guide, I picked "Local System" as the service account for the SQL Server. But that means that backups can't be made to remote file shares, right Also, looking at the SQL documentation, they advice against using "Local System" as the service account for SQL for security reasons. So, two questions>/P> 1) Can I backup to a remote share when SQL Server runs as "Local System" If yes, how I am running in workgroup mode. 2) Can I just change the service account for the SQL Server to a local user account If that same local user account exists on the computer to which I want ...Show All

• .NET Development AD Authentication across domains

  Hi, I have an ASP.net web application which has Forms authentication enabled. The users are authenticated by connecting to Active Directory using .net directory services. Everything was working fine untill the search domain matched with that of the domain of the server where the code is deployed. If i deploy the same code in a different server which is under a different domain, my authentication fails as by default it checks the domain of the server first rather than using the domain giving in the AD(LDAP) path string. How can I achieve cross domain authentication Web server is a windows 2003 machine and .net framework used is 1.1 Any input is highly appreciated. Thanks, Dinakar Folks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Animating curves, lines, shapes. Is it even possible?!

  Hi All-- I'm writing a program and I've hit a wall I want to create spline shapes (curves and circles)--that's easy. Now I want to move them--that's not so easy. I want to draw a curve, then, by clicking on one of the curves points, I want to reshape the spline. Is this possible It doesn't seem like it should be that difficult, but I can't find any good information. I've looked at DrawReversibleLine but it only does lines, not curves. Any ideas Paint your spline in the form's or control's Paint event. When the user changes the spline control points, simply call Invalidate() to force the spline to be redrawn. Check this thread for a simple example. ...Show All
